Developing Standards for Dispute Resolution in the Energy IndustryCenter for the Advancement of Energy Markets: ADR Forum

In 2005, Dr. Raab co-chaired, with Jeffrey Stockholm of the NY PSC, the Regulatory and Policy Decisions Working Group of this national effort to develop guidelines and best practices for the integration of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the energy industry. The effort included representatives of federal and state regulatory agencies, utilities, private attorneys and mediators, and others with interest and expertise in the use of ADR in the energy industry. The effort looked at the full range of activities in which ADR can be used effectively, from upstream policy settings to downstream business disputes.
